4 October 2019 saw the very first landing of P-8A Poseidon A47-011 at RAAF base Edinburgh (Australia).
The Poseidon routed Seattle - Honolulu - Nadi (Fiji) instead of Pago Pago, then to Edinburgh. Using call sign Poseidon 01, the Poseidon was most likely manned by a mix of Australian and US crew.
011 is the second-last P-8A for the Royal Australian Air Force. Number twelve is expected soon, while the Australian government is looking for the option to buy another three to bring the fleet up to fifteen aircraft.
The P-8As of the RAAF are assigned to 92 Wing, 11 squadron "Shepherd or Destroy".
